Prosperity Cash Machine, a scheme promising passive income, launched in late 2013 under the control of Julie Wilson and Paul Stevenson, offering $175 affiliate positions. Neither individual appears on official company documents. Their names surface repeatedly on the company's testimonials page as credited owners.
Julie Wilson outlined her background in a September 2013 email to affiliate DeMarcus Davenport. She claimed ownership and stated hundreds of people could vouch for her. Wilson also revealed she previously ran CashLines LLC, which she described as similar to Prosperity Cash Machine but with lower entry costs. That program, she wrote, was "very successful" until Zeek Rewards distracted everyone.
Wilson's mention of Zeek Rewards is a significant detail. The SEC shut down Zeek Rewards in 2012 as a $600 million Ponzi scheme. Wilson admits her previous operation was comparable to it. She now runs Prosperity Cash Machine with similar methods.
Wilson promised she would personally run conference calls, allowing members to get to know her. She spoke of transparency, claiming only eight refund requests out of thousands in her prior program. Good communication, she said, accounted for this low number. She also addressed recruitment, telling Davenport he could bring in as many people as he wanted, but larger groups would need to wait a week or two.
Paul Stevenson, based in Europe, had a different history. Before Prosperity Cash Machine, he promoted ISN Coins, numismatic coins, on YouTube. An August 2013 video from the "ISN Power Team" showed Stevenson instructing viewers on "the fastest and most profitable way to build your (ISN) business." The strategy was simple: recruit three new affiliates, have them recruit three more, and repeat. This is a classic pyramid recruitment model.
Wilson is a veteran of schemes resembling Zeek Rewards. Stevenson appears to be making his first attempt at running a company, having learned recruitment tactics on YouTube before partnering with Wilson.
Prosperity Cash Machine's primary offering is affiliate membership itself, sold for $175 per position. The company generates revenue not from selling actual goods or services to the public. Instead, it relies on recruiting new members who pay to join. Each new recruit becomes a potential income source for those above them in the structure.
This design mirrors other schemes: members make money by recruiting others, not by selling anything of inherent value. Recruitment always slows down. When it does, the scheme collapses, leaving most participants with financial losses.
Wilson's track record with CashLines and her own admission that it operated on Zeek Rewards principles indicate the nature of this operation. Stevenson's YouTube recruitment pitches show his engagement with the same system. Together, they operate Prosperity Cash Machine as a numbers game designed to enrich early joiners while the majority of participants lose money.
